Squat squashed
While I’m on this photographic bent, the squat I snapped a while ago has been demolished. Pity, it was a nice old building.

As a Notre Dame student, what’s your take on this report in The West on how the uni is buying up West End Freo pubs and conveting them for students?
No big deal. The pubs they’ve bought to date have basically already been closed down. The Freo is going to be kept open as a bar, and the Orient now turns a substantial profit thanks to the student trade. The Uni’s pretty good at restoring the old buildings.
I heard that the uni was gutting the area of street life,after all anyone can refurbish a building.
Refurbishing the demographic is a whole lot harder.
That’s just wrong, sirhumphrey. West End was dead long ago — that’s why they let ND have the vacant buildings there in the first place. Now the bookshops are re-opening, and there are new clothes shops. It’s only a few pubs that the wharfies used to frequent that closed down, and mechanisation of the port caused that, not ND.
